I'm no expert on JDO, but the low-level api does guarantee strong consistency for get-by-key operations (that is, unless you explicitly ask for eventual consistency). One of those SO responses suggested it is possible to have the GAE/JDO plugin log its low-level operations - that should at least point you in the right direction.
One other thing that might be related: In the low-level API, within a single transaction, all reads will return the original value even if you write it within the transaction. I don't know what JDO does with this; I would expect that subsequent reads would return a session-cached instance and hide this little quirk. But maybe it's related to what you are seeing?
